The universe, a single act of love, <br />it’s said; and ever so, then, must remain; <br />is never other; has no place for hate, <br />save in the minds and hearts of less than men.. <br /> <br />the universe, a single, lawful law; <br />from which all laws emerge, as reason does; <br />emerge as justice, in those laws observed; <br />and known and lived, a promise of true bliss; <br /> <br />may we, then, share a single, wholesome view <br />in which the love of law, and law of love <br />rest warm in heart and bright in eye and mind, <br />and meet to know this mercy from above? <br /> <br />Thus live as the Creator’s mind – a prayer <br />I barely dare; yet hope That heart to share..<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/barely-rhymed-sonnet-love-and-law/
